Hemp behaves and looks much like linen. It is also grown and processed in a similar way, yet it can yield twice as much fibre as flax.
It has a short growing period of about 100 days and so can be planted and harvested up to four times a year.
The cultivation process naturally reduces pests and returns 60-70% of the nutrients it takes into the soil.
It is a carbon negative crop, absorbing more carbon dioxide than it produces, requiring little water or pesticides and no fertilizers.
